Excellent director. You need to watch the complete movie without even missing one single scene to understand perfectly. It is definitely applicable to the movies like A, Upendra, Swastik etc. , His talent is really provided with OM. Excellent director, expect more and more different movies. I personally did not like Super movie. He would have done a better justice to his latest movie Super. I hope he will come back with a bang in Upendra2. Do not mix the commercial elements in Upendra2, just go with your innocent attitude which you almost one and half decade back
Upendra is one of the most contemporary directors and actors in the Indian film industry currently. His movies depict things in ways that people will be taken aback. He always has a message for the audience.
His movie making style cam be summed up on only one word - "Different"! He portrays a raw version of everything without polluting the subject with drama and emotion. One of the rare gems to look out for.
A brilliant actor director of the Kannada film industry - Upendra!
Creative director. All his directional movies are different and sensation. His directional movies will have social message to the society.
Each movie has a complete different style,meaning, story-line which directly relates to daily ongoing common-man life. He thinks 20 years ahead of the current societies mentality. Commonly people find difficulties to understand the story, meaning of the movie but each movie is a masterpiece

Being a director especially as of in Indian cinemas, one should have the ability to direct cinemas with other industry actors. But Puttanna kanagal did it in a way back than nobody did. He's from Kannada industry, he made masterpiece Malayalam movies, hindi , tamil, telugu & he succeeded in every his other industry movies. In Kannada his gejje pooje still has the good talks in today's Kannada artists. His nagarahavu in which he made the Phoenix of indian cinema - Dr. Vishnuvardhan became an 'Angry man of karnataka' title holder., in which vishnu sir acted his first lead role in a movie.
Also that 'Baare baare' song in nagarahavu Kannada movie, was the first ever indian slow motion scenes captured song.
